(What is the main attack stat?) Cannot confirm whether main stat will be STR or DEX. Don't want people to start stockpiling gears.

I hope it's both. Allowing for some freedom - ie. if you do all STR you get to do more damage with your melee skills, if you do all DEX you get to deal more damage with your ranged skills or do 50/50 and you're balanced damage. Ninja's mudras combinations could have their effects vary depending on your stat allotment.

Honestly - the game needs more dynamic and viable builds. It's boring as is.
